Disney's MyMagic+

Disney has embraced technology to enhance a guests experience at their theme parks and resorts. Disney's MyMagic+ gives you control of your vacation and makes it easier than ever to enjoy time with your family and friends.

MyMagic+ has 3 main components:

My Disney Experience website and smartphone app

FastPass+

MagicBand RFID bracelet

My Disney Experience website and APP

You can start the fun before you even begin your Walt Disney World vacation by visiting MyDisneyExperience.com or downloading the MyDisneyExperience APP. This website and app acts as your centralised planning tool and you can continue to access it in the parks from your mobile device via the website or app (all four parks have free wi-fi).

MyDisneyExperience gives you access to park and resort information such as park maps, attraction information including wait times, you can use it to make your dining reservations, FastPass+ selections and much more.

FastPass+

FastPass+ is a Disney ride and attraction reservation system, a bit like making a Disney dining reservation. With FastPass+ you can make a reservation for certain attractions within the theme parks. When you make a FastPass+ reservation you choose a time slot to experience an attraction. When you arrive at the attraction within your 1 hour time slot you are allowed to use the the FastPass+ entrance to the attraction rather than the standby entrance. Using the FastPass+ entrance significantly reduces your time waiting in line.

MyMagic+ Summary

Guests can schedule 3 FastPasses before arriving to the parks for rides, shows, parades, fireworks, or to meet characters

MagicBands can be set up prior to visiting, linked to the a Disney account

MagicBands are used as room keys, park tickets, FastPass+ access, and at touch-to-pay locations for shopping and dining

MagicBands offer turnstile-free access to the parks with a quick tap for entrance

Guests may choose or limit the amount of information shared when registering MagicBands online

Using information on the MagicBands, characters will “magically” know guests’ names before meeting them, also being able to note registered celebrations, such as birthdays or anniversaries

Rides and queues can use MagicBands for a personalized experience

Disney sells MagicBand accessories to collect and make each wristband unique

If lost, guests can have their MagicBands deactivated by Cast Members or by going online and Disney claims no personal information can be retrieved from a lost or stolen wristband. Also, purchases totaling over $50 will require a PIN to support tap-to-pay.
